AEP Ohio, a unit of American Electric Power based in Columbus, Ohio, is working with Turning Point Solar LLC, a joint venture of Agile Energy Inc. and New Harvest Power, on the largest commercial solar development east of the Rockies. Turning Point will develop a 49.9MW solar generating facility on approximately 500 acres in southeastern Ohio. The project is expected to bring approximately 600 permanent and construction jobs to Ohio. Construction and commercial operation of the solar generating facility will be phased in over three years.
